In the Making: A Texas Ranch House with Michael Imber

In the Making spotlights the architects, designers, and artisans using historical precedent to address contemporary challenges. Each episode is a deep dive into a select project, revealing the unique history, environment, and human ingenuity that shaped the design process.

In the first episode, architect raises the curtain on his firm’s newly built project, a stone ranch house in West Texas. The design draws inspiration from the state’s rich history of the ranch house archetype, and combines influences from Mission-style colonial edifices, U.S. Cavalry frontier forts, and public parks constructed by the Works Progress Administration in the twentieth century. Michael leads viewers on a tour of the stunning result: a house hewn from local Texas stone and oak beams, like a fortress that commands a view of the formidable prairie landscape, but also offering its inhabitants a comforting place of respite.
